If you must know

  • There are always that 2 sides of me, depending on the situation and the company that i am with. Words like vileness and obnoxiousness are engraved on my forehead, take that as a warning sign. I love being honest AS-I-CAN-BE. And no, I don't appreaciate the posting of plenty of pictures on my blog.

  • Home Improvement- Economy

    How would you like to clear your mind from all the little distractions that get in your way? These everyday distractions can wreak havoc on your productivity. Wouldn’t you love to have a machine that automatically made your life easier? Well, I have a little secret for you. You already own it! It is that thing in your head that weighs about three pounds. Your brain!

    Wikipedia**** defines automatic as, “Capable of operating without external control or intervention. Done out of habit or without conscious thought.” There are certain things we can’t avoid in life. We must wake, sleep, eat, bathe, and dress everyday (now don’t try and tell me you don’t do at least three of these every day). There are also things that must take place on a weekly or monthly basis, like laundry, cleaning your home, personal grooming. And not to mention having to clean the mess left by people! Oh god, isn't that a nuisance?

    (Note: Do not use wikipedia for academic purposes or you might risk yourself with a 'F')

    Creating a routine for your regular to do-s will not only make your life easier, but will free space in that crazy brain of yours to actually think of more important things. It is the crazy way we run through the day, feeling like we are spinning our wheels and not getting anything done. We are so distracted by what we have to do that we simply don’t focus easily.

    Create regular routines for your home:

    • Laundry
    • Changing sheets
    • Dust
    • Vacuum
    • Bathrooms (yes the dreaded bathrooms)
    • Empty trash cans 

    For your errands:

    • Grocery shopping
    • Dry cleaning
    • Bank
    • Library (I included this just for the sake of including it)
    • Discount stores

    For your personal grooming :

    • Haircut
    • Facials 

    For your workouts (Note: This only applies for those gym yard junkies) 

    • Weight training
    • Cardio 
    • Stretching/yoga/pilates

    For your work:

    • Meetings 
    • Writing 
    • Phone Calls 
    • Email Checks 

    Other benefits of having your life scheduled:

    • Ease in budgeting. You will be able to know what you spend in the month and/or what you can afford to spend in the month. As if...

    Anyways, the everyday routine; but for others, the everyday routine is being turned upside down. The current economy has forced many  to look at their spending (and savings) habits through an entirely new lens. 

    “Often times, people are so focused on their big financial picture that they neglect to consider what little things they can do to help themselves out,” said Heath Tudor, consumer liaison for RESQDEBT. “Making smart choices and small changes around the home can go a long way to helping you decrease your monthly spending habits and reduce the risk of money running low down the road.”

    I have invested quite abit for a place I call home...now.  Have you?

  • Sand-Man

    This is a dream... When I wake up, though, I will try to remember what happened..

    Hmm...most of the time, I really don’t know what dreams are made of. They say dreams are just the results of one’s active imagination, of something that one wanted to achieve, or something one had long craved for to have. But I can assure you that I am still dying to know what was the ending before it got disrupted by a little annoyance.

    ...It was an early Sunday morning, as I was just about to pull open the window blinds for some sunlight, she held me around my waist from behind, kissed me gently on the neck and wishes me "Good Morning" in a soft whisper. I smiled while was sliding the window for a little sun, and turned over. Having to know that the parents were still asleep, she slowly pushed me towards the wall and she leaned on my back. I could feel the warmth of her body pressing against mine. The door found its way shut behind us, her other hand was ensuring the lock was set.

    I waited for her next move, wondering what got her so naughty this early in the morning..As she turn me around, our eyes nary left that first glance and our lips were yet to meet. But we knew what moment was to come. Her hand slipped into my shirt, gliding slowly from the back to over my chest while hugging me as she planted another kiss on my lips.

    There was a warm invitation from her eyes to cross the threshold once again. She told me that the bed had wanted the two souls resting in it once again. She sat on it and asked me to tuck into bed for a cuddle.

    "A moment, alright?" I told her with a smile, as I lit up the scented candle. The slight scent of incense wafting through the air, I think it was Jasmine. My hands encompassed her face, brushing away the hair from her cheeks with a gentle caress. The kiss came what seemed an instant after, there was an enormous intensity as the tongues touched...When I just about to slide my hands into the blanket....

     

     

     

    ...............THEN THE FUCKING PHONE RANG. And I woke up.  PUKIMAK. OOuuuhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Growing Old Ain't For Pussies

    As I write this entry, I’m acutely aware that I’m not sure of much of anything. I was lost for a moment after learning that a friend of mine took his own life by hanging himself. And contrarily, I have learnt that over the recent months, there are many achieved tremendously in life.

    I questioned myself quite a lot lately. Questioning myself about life and what exactly have I achieved. I know, it sounded kind of stupid to be wondering all these when I am only a student. And there shouldn't be more to worry about since the sole responsibility of a student is just to get done with his studies, get that piece of fucking paper and then, shove it under piles of old papers followed by whatever it comes next.

    "Do I know who I am?" That is a question that kept echoing back and forth in mind, and I am sure that many still ask the same question even when they are in their late 60s.

    "Do I know what I see when I look at myself?" Do I know what I am, does it matter to me? Do I just get play a little part in this world and get going along from day to day?" I wake up, shower, get dressed, coffee, classes, studies and then full on drinking during the weekends. STOP.

    Seriously...who the fuck am I actually?

    Having to know that the peers around me are achieving more and more these days makes me feel lagging behind. Even for a couple of them who are college drop-outs turned out to be more successful that anyone could possibly imagined. Questions of how, what, when and why strucked me instantly.

    I do not deny that seeing the success of others drives me harder to achieve what I want. The envious feeling made me thought of the path which I have chosen and ended up feeling like an arse. I put the blame on the times when I was just hopeless with temptations, and the fact that I could not refrain myself from procrastinating, leaving my main objectives to auto-pilot that crashes into oblivion numerous times while I was enjoying all the fun. Imprudence is just built in me! So basically what im saying is that I agree with the saying "Whatever you have done, made who you are today. Therefore, make your choices wisely". Afterall, how many MORE mistakes can one afford?

    I don’t know how people are actually coping these days but the beginning of this year has seriously knocked the wind out of me. I’ve clung to that compass—yet I’ve been left without any noticeable improvements. I wouldn't mind telling that I was supposed to graduate last year, and hmm, yet I still see myself flipping over the pages of my textbooks because—— the gradual accumulation of fuck-ups . What I do have is lots of unused professional aptitude, an abundance of skills to do. I don’t even remember what, it’s been so long know what exactly feels like in a general sense of uselessness, but over the years of unpleasant experiences, I do now! This was not the plan I assure you.

    The present situation has cultivated deep feelings of despair despite my best efforts to remain positive and ever diligent for any opportunity that might land my way. For my trouble, I’ve tried numerous ways of changing. And I thought its working. Apparently, I am wrong, again. Clearly, the strategy was not working.

    Again, how many fuck-ups can I afford?

  • Entanglement

    The title has completely nothing to do with the whole entry. I just can't think of anything to name it. Hmm...I can definately use a little creativity now.

    Anyway...

    "Being under the influence clouds one's judgement" I quote from M.

    "A drunkard's word is a sober man's thought." Oooo...

    DAILY TRIVIA:

    Q:  Alcohol or any other substances that causes impairment to judgements are created for?

    A: (Personally) I reckon that its the best thing ever created by god to lubricate the society. Yes? And not to mention that there are one, two, many people that requires a little chemical alteration for certain things. Yes? You have to admit that with the help of a little so called "chemical alteration", it turns CERTAIN people from losers to high flyers.  

    Note: Any alcohol and drug (A&D) substances react to people in various manner. Result varies. Outcome of audacious acts completely depends on how well A&D bond with you. There are cases of some turning into superman, however, if something great did not happene to you, probably you belong to the catergory for "toilet bowl clingers"

    It flatters me a lot to see a link to my site on someone else's webpage. Honestly, it does. Especially when you see your link appearing on the sites of someone you hate!

  • Hello

    smiley

    Oh hello you. It's been awhile since I last logged in too, abandoning this blog to fall into the state of neglect and...urm, empty. Well, I am hitting on my keys again. 

    In between the period of my disappearance, there have been a couple of things which I have been striving to make it work--> A change of lifestyle. Yes.

    Flying back and forth to melbourne every fortnightly helped me alot while I was going through some devastating moments, well, at the same time I thought I could use a new scene after being stranded in Adelaide for awhile. It was definately a comfort zone for me, and I never knew that I love Melbourne that much too. However, after some time...someone's dilemma made me come to aware that I was actually too much of a chicken to exert my own fears/problems. I thank that person endlessly- Meng. Spending some time with him was definately therapeutic.

    "Having to bring myself to a higher standard than most could not possibly imagine". That is, my new line.

    I must admit, having to get one's shit together is no easy feat. Regardless, when there's a will, there's always a way. And gladly, I have noticed the changes too and I could not be happier. During the process of what somewhat "change of lifestyle", (not to the fact that I was having a minor mid life crisis, heck.. I am still way beyond my reach to the darkest period) I tried a couple of "proper" alternatives.

    It all started with my sleeping hours. Dozing off at 9-10 at night, and waking up during the wee hours, around 3-4 in the morning. Kick start my day by working out a little and guess what? Finally, I had my hands on those da-dumb-bells, followed by breakfast, read the news and then my revision. This whole dramatic change made me felt good, and not to mention that I did attend most of my classes too, but on the other hand, it made me realizes that I am gradually drifting away from my friends too. It was not all witty I must say. Hence, the decision to move on to another phase which I am currently situated!

    Burying myself with work and studies during the weekdays, dining out with someone at least twice a week and PARTAY during the weekends. This new phase got a little messed up during the start, but after allowing some time for the "adjustments", it is now fully under control. Probably most of the people of my age has done it like a million light years ago, and they would probably think that I am making a big deal out of it, but...SCREW U to those who did think so. I am just proud that I have somewhat managed to grow up.. finally. I would think that i am starting to see my shit ain't scattered all over now.

    I have picked up a couple of things while going through this new phase of life.

    1. It is okay to be having meals alone even if you are dining out.
    2. It is okay to go shop for groceries alone even if you suck at making a choices. Eg to get an apple or an orange.
    3. It is okay to be singing your lungs out even if you have people around you. SHARE it. (But please, KNOW YOUR LYRICS)
    4. It is okay to be watching DVDs at home alone even if it is a film of romance.
    5. It is okay to go on a solitary train ride.

    The growing Camass

     There are too many occasions when we just wished that we are able to turn back in time, and undo the damage. Were the consequences overseen before we land ourselves in a dreadful predicatment? Why didn't we think of the outcome? Even if we do, how often we expect the worst? hmmmmm...

    Anyways...


    It's gloomy here. Apart from the rainy weather, I don't exactly see how exuberant my life can be lately. Well, to be precise, it has been over two months now. They said every cloud has a silver lining. Well, no shit right? I don't see mine yet. Do you?

    According to one article which I came across.... "Indoor plants may improve the ambience of a room...somewhat soothing...brings down the level of stress too..."

    I'm thinking of daisies, probably something which will bloom endlessly...Would it relieve me of my gloom?

  • Mic check 1,2...1,2...


    And so I have abandoned my previous page to start all over again, it's likely that I will be writting about the same content, nonetheless this time, I will try to minimize the ruthless expressions on my blog, in other words, (same place, same spot, but different shit :p )


    Oh yes, I chose to blog anonymously. As I am protecting myself and my blog from hate comments. I reckon it's a subtle thing to do, as I would say that getting less attention from the public means less people putting ideas into me.


    Personally, I do not hold any grudges against most who criticize me, it's too much of a burden to be carried, and not to mention, why should I hold dissatisfaction of others in my account?



    It feels good to be writting again after taking a couple of weeks off. During the day offs, I was hit with numerous thoughts, somehow it got me figured of what can be done to write better. Well, first off, I have a really shallow knowledge on vacabulary. My writings are weak, my sentence are incomprehensible, and my lines are often left hanging without an end point...so pls bear with me!

    "Love considers all sides and embraces differences, 
    Differences that complete a relationship in love,
    Sometimes is felt as a sharp thorn on a delicate rose..."

    -gf-

    I find this beautiful yet amazingly true.

    Like they say, opposite ends attract, it's enjoyable...it feels good, it felt like 'us', which is irreplaceable nonetheless accepting it might just be harder than expected, still...it made one stronger, pumped with more determination and the desire to make things perfect.

    I'm currently still working on something which I meant to complete weeks ago, due to the incompetency which is moulded in my character, I expect it to be done somewhere during "when-i'm-ready-to-finish-it" ?

    All smiles.

  • I chose to run away. To alienate myself from most the limelight, to seek asylum from the gossip monggers.

    Don't bother asking why. Don't bother telling me how it shud be liked.
